Da Song: Shhh, I'm really not a prince

Chapter 2 It's just hanging yourself, why make it so complicated?
-
"deceased……"

"male."

"21 to 23 years old, emaciated, ragged."

"Scald on the calf, burn? There is one and only a strangle mark on the neck. The preliminary judgment is that the death is due to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, not caused by a broken cervical vertebra..."

Although I don't know,

but,

Bao Zheng and Scarface looked up at Zhao Shishi, who was riding on the branch of a tree, holding a white cloth in each hand and carefully examining the corpse, two words still floated in his mind...

profession,

Very fucking professional,
Even Bao Zheng had a feeling of being unaware of the Ming Dynasty, and then watched Zhao Shi slide from the tree to the ground, and then ignored the incontinence of the deceased, lying on the ground to observe carefully, he couldn't help asking: "Is there any gain?"

"Hang yourself."

Zhao Shi replied without turning his head, then frowned and squeezed a handful of moist soil on his fingertips gently,

"Hang yourself?"

Scarface jumped up all of a sudden: "Impossible." Then he pointed at the dead body that was at least three feet (95.04cm) high in the air, and cursed angrily: "Come on, tell me, you he How the hell can you hang yourself to death when you are half a person above the ground?"

"Ice cubes."

Zhao Shi is still the same,

without looking back,

"Ice... blocks?"

"Correct."

Zhao Shi patted the wet soil under the dead man's feet: "Because it's just the defecation and defecation of self-hanging incontinence, it's not enough to make the ground so wet, besides..." Zhao Shi got up, took two steps forward and picked up a piece of crushed ice Said: "Even if you can check the scene of the crime a little bit before arresting me, you should not ask such a simple question."

"Simple?"

Scarface is obviously not a person who likes to use his brain. This will be stimulated by Zhao Shi. Instead, he used his brain and snorted coldly: "Do you know what month and day it is?"

"September [-]."

"Tell me, how do you find ice when the river is not yet frozen?"

"There are many ways."

It was not Zhao Shi who answered, but Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng looked at Zhao Shi's back in surprise, and then replied, "Don't talk about now, even in midsummer, there are many rich and powerful families who store ice cubes. Besides, even if there is no storage I have seen a record in an ancient book in the late Tang Dynasty, it is said that ice cubes can be made from a kind of gray-white stone..."

That's right,

saltpeter ice,

Ice making with saltpeter was discovered by miners at the end of Tang Dynasty, and then it shined brilliantly in Song Dynasty, and became the main means for many wealthy families to escape the summer heat. However, Bao Zheng should be relatively frugal, so he used the records in ancient books. Instead of experiencing it personally, Zhao Shi got up and took a look at Bao Zheng while he was explaining to Scarface.

In his sixties,
pale face,

no crescent,
Ok,
It should be Bao Zheng in history. Bao Zheng in history served as the governor of Kaifeng from December 1056 (the first year of Jiayou) to June 1058 (the third year of Jiayou). Yes, he only did The magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture was less than two years old, and now it is September [-]th,

Therefore,
Now is 1057 (the second year of Jiayou)?

Zhao Shi's mind wandered slightly, then he turned his head again, squatted down, and studied the wet soil...

"How did you transform it?"

It's not just Zhao Shi who is puzzled,

Bao Zheng was even more puzzled, then hesitated for a moment, bowed and said, "Young Lord, although the old man has solved the mystery of how to make ice cubes, it's just... just like what Yang Chuan said just now, September [-]th, although it is not enough for the river to It’s freezing, but the weather has turned cold, and it’s not enough to melt the ice, so how did the ice melt?”

Zhao Shi looked up,

looking at the dead,
"quicklime."

"quicklime?"

Bao Zheng is definitely well-informed, but he was still a little at a loss when faced with the word quicklime. Zhao Shi didn't hide it, and it wasn't too beyond the times, so he explained: "That's right. , quicklime is similar to saltpeter, since you know that saltpeter will release a lot of cold when it meets water, you should also understand that quicklime will release a lot of heat when it meets water.”

The issue is,
Why did he do this?
Bao Zheng was a little embarrassed, turned his head to look at the more bewildered arresters, hesitated for a while, he was in his sixties, the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, bowed again and said: "I also ask Xiao Lang to clarify my doubts."

Zhao Shi looked at the corpse quietly.

His brows did not relax at all, and he asked without turning his head, "Does any of you bring quicklime?"

Bao Zheng looked at Scarface slowly, Scarface hesitated for a moment, awkwardly took a bag from his waist, stuffed it into Zhao Shi's hand, and explained somewhat redundantly: "Prefect Bao, you are humble Although I carry such sneak attack items with me, I almost never use them, being humble is more upright..."

呲——
Unfortunately,
Before the explanation of Scarface was finished, Zhao Shi just turned his wrist and sprinkled lime powder into a small puddle at his feet that hadn't completely dried up, and a miracle was born.
miraculously,

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Shui Po released white gas, and Bao Zheng was startled, especially his scarred face, his eyes widened. He looked at Xiao Shui Po in disbelief, and then at Zhao Shi's back, and said, "Here, That's okay too?"

Zhao Shili ignored the two of them, and still looked at the corpse...

keep watching,

Watching
There was a little golden light overflowing from the surface of the corpse, but Zhao Shi didn't notice it at all. He just frowned and murmured: "If you commit suicide, you commit suicide. Even if you are forced, you don't have to make it so grand, right?"

"grand?"

Bao Zheng took two steps forward, just happened to see Zhao Shi's profile, inexplicably felt that Zhao Shi's profile was familiar, and instinctively wanted to look more carefully.

Snapped

However, Zhao Shi slapped the body's slightly scalded calf fiercely. This is why Zhao Shi was able to confirm that the quicklime melted into ice so quickly. The modus operandi of this case is really not difficult, the difficulty lies in...

Why do you do this?

But for those who commit suicide, even if they are forced to commit suicide by some evil force, as long as they decide to commit suicide, they can do it as easily as possible. Yet?Why make it so grand, as if showing off skills?
Although Bao Zheng was not good at solving cases, under the influence of Zhao Shi, he gradually noticed this strange place, then stopped and frowned...

Immediately,

brush,
Zhao Shi and Bao Zheng turned their heads almost at the same time, and looked in the direction the corpse was facing, that is...

The courtyard where Zhao Shi was arrested,
Or,

Broken temple.

Across the mottled and collapsed courtyard wall, you can clearly see the overgrown yard. There is a broken bell hanging on one side of the yard. You can see the gate of the temple...

one...

Buddha statues whose gold paint has been completely peeled off,

One hand up, one hand down,
look……

Compassionate.
